Challenging a Denied Workers’ Compensation Claim in North Carolina

What to do if Your Workers’ Compensation Claim was Denied

Most people don’t realize that when it comes to workers’ compensation, it’s not enough to prove you were hurt on the job. You have to show that you suffered an accidental injury — meaning that something unexpected or unusual happened at the time you were hurt — or a back injury caused by a specific traumatic event or that you suffer from an occupational disease.

It’s the accidental injury requirement that often causes the most trouble for injured workers. Sometimes people make the mistake of telling the insurance adjuster or the company doctor that nothing unusual was happening when the injury occurred. This can be a critical error. It may result in your workers’ comp claim being denied.

Don’t give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster until you talk to an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer. The Ramsay Law Firm in Charlotte helps injured workers in North Carolina avoid costly mistakes. Contact us today for a free consultation.
